Springtime Cottage

This is probably the last home portrait to be done before Christmas (unless a stray rush comes in). I am planning to do 1 myself as a gift for someone, so that will probably be next.

I had fun with this - the client said to make it springtime with spring flowers. And following the supplied photos, I put together this little scene. Of course the photos were current (early winter with no leaves) - so I changed the season when I painted.

But I have to ask you - do you see the face in the front of the house? The 2 eyes (windows), the nose below, and the open mouth (front door). It's as if the house is saying "OH" - Isn't it great?

Then again, maybe it's me. I've been painting home portraits so often now that the houses are taking on a life of their own. That seems a bit Alice in Wonderland'ish, doesn't it?

About Me

Creating (anything) has always been a part of my life. My paintings attempt to capture moments in time, where an emotion or feeling was felt. It's all about capturing the visual expression that is found in life. I find it is a truly wonderful way to live.
